All This, and Heaven Too (1940)

Duc de Praslin: Why are you smiling? May I share whatever pleases you so?
Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: You will think I am very silly I'm afraid, but standing here like this with the snow falling reminds of something I used to know. Do you remember a little round glass globe that...
Duc de Praslin: Oh yes, I know, with a snow scene inside. We had a paper weight on a desk at home like that. You shook it and the snow whirled around out from nowhere in a blinding storm.
Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Duc de Praslin: And if you looked closely enough the whole world seemed to be obliberated and shut out.

Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: If love is right, it is the most precious gift in the world. But you must be sure - very sure - that it is right, for if it isn't, there is no worse agony, nothing more bitter, nothing more lonely to be imagined.

Henriette Deluzy-Desportes: Happiness isn't a little cake which we can cut up to fill our appetites.
